child benefit will stop as an hnd is advanced education and she should be able to claim student funding. Child tax credits will also stop
some info on what types of education qualify for child benefit https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit-16-19
you should be able to keep the 'bedroom' for her in your housing benefit claim

Higher National Diploma ia Higher Education so no Child Benefit and now CTC. She claims SFE funding to support herself and probably need part-time work to top-up.

Make sure she gets a Council Tax letter if you are the only other adult in the house and you can claim for an extra bedroom if needed.
